Chennai: A Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) district functionary, Vetri Vendhan (43), was arrested by the Tiruvallur town police for allegedly poisoning and killing 16 stray dogs after they attacked his pigeons and hens.

The incident came to light following a complaint filed by a local resident, Karthikeyan, who reported the mysterious death of a stray dog he had been raising. The police initiated an investigation and discovered that several stray dogs had died under similar circumstances on October 2.

CCTV footage from the area showed a man leaving food on the field, which later turned out to be laced with poison. Though the footage was unclear, further investigations linked the crime to Vetri Vendhan. During questioning, he confessed to the crime, stating that the stray dogs had repeatedly attacked his flocks of pigeons and brood of hens, after which he poisoned the dogs on two occasions on September 21 and October 1.

Tiruvallur town police registered a case against Vetri Vendhan under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. He was produced before the magistrate court in Tiruvallur and remanded to judicial custody.
